Many residents no longer swim, many of them no longer fish. With badminton and bowling, soft ball and tennis, there is a field of recreation for a limited few. Now. with the addition of the first golf course on the Peninsula, more .people will be able to have recreation with a modest expenditure of energy, The Pacific Coast and lits fishing problems are entirely different from those of the East. Ground fish, on this coast is only a minor industry compared to salmon, with the exception of halibut, which I believe ranks second in import- annce and although a ground fish is classed apart, and is controlled by treaty and mu��rt be taken only by the use of The sports, or recreation, field has scarcely been touched nooks. here. lit needs more development in all directions, and with such development, we believe t here will be not only more tourists staying happily with us, and leaving a little of their vacation funds with us, but there will be more healthy participation in local events by residents, young and old, and less ���of the objectionable type of seeking after diversion. , The country lends itself to the development of sports facilities, and the climate encourages their use. Let us hope that another mind has imagination to think up another f orm of activity. / Phone Sechelt 64 The halibut fishing at present is utilized to its utmost, with the possible exception of area 4 (Bering Sea) with the present vessels already in use.,There is no room for expansion in .'.'this industry as the entire yearly quota is taken in three months and held in freezers. The ad- dXitm of these 15 new vessels into this . already overcrowded industry wtill only worsen matters and will not lessen,the cost to the consumer. '; The drag-fleet is confined to a comparatively narrow continental shelf on this coast with' few outlying banks and in m!ost places plunges to depths of Oyer 1,000 fathoms within a very few miles of our coast and there is no commercial fishing below 400 fathoms. The ground fish stocks are already badly depleted and this industry is steadily worsening in both fishing and marketing without the addition of any new vessels. Tuna fishing is no longer of <any importance and from the Fisheries Research Board... of Canada I quote: "There is little hope of ever establishing a successful Tuna Fishery on this Coast" ' The only successful tuna fishing today is carried ���on in Equatorial Waters ;and if my information is correct the above-mentioned 15 vessels are too small and not suitable. Herring fishing is a very important Fishery, but pis strictly an inshore operation,' carried out in protected waters during tlie fall and winter months. Under tlie terms of the' Permit granted, these new vessels cannot engage in this fishiing without forfeiting the 25 percent duty refund. It will be interesting to see if this takes place. SALMON. This fishery is. the most important of all. The above stated facts add up to only one conclusion, these 15 American vessels are being imp cried into' Canada for one purpose, to engage in salmon fishing in a race out into the Pacific in an attempt to secure our share of our fish in the face of increasing competition from our American neighbours. This has been brought about by the decline in the Alaskan salmon which no doubt is being affected by . the entry of the Japanese into the North Pacific Salmon Fishery. When Canada became a signatory to the North Pacific Fisheries Treaty, the Canadian people were told that our salmon industry was being fully protected. Such is not now proving to be the fact. Japan still remains a distant but potential threat in mid Pacific, but the immediate threat now is not the Japanese but the American fishermen. This was disclosed on March 22nd of this year, when our vessels. The immediate result.of this race is drastic closures of the waters adjacent to our salmon spawning areas. An example of this are the already announced regulations pertaining to the Fraser River and gulf waters- as recently announced by the Fisheries Department. To show the far reaching effect of the signing of ' the Pacific Treaty, a close scrutiny of the Fishery Regulations for District No. 1 and in particular area 29 will reveal the fact that the commercial salmon net fishing <is almost wiped out in the vicinity of Gibsons and Sechelt. As the regulations now stand, there will be no commercial net fishing of any importance prior to October 14th of this year. There will then be 8 days of good fishing and approximately 12 days of. medium to poor fishing till the season closes around November 20th. Area 28 (Howe Sound) will probably remain open during the closiing of area 29. but for the past several years Howe Sound has been1 ofv little importance as far as .Gibsons is concerned. v In effect these closures will result in a loss of over $20,000 in Gibsons and Sechelt areas. Last year the westerly portion of area 29 produced over 400,000 pounds of salmon from are:i29 withdrawn in order to try and save the local salmon fishing from the then impending closures. On account of the poor response from local trades organizations, I am not too hopeful of the outcome. T-�� date I have received no word. In closing I will state that the people of Qanada have one trump card, we have tlie spawning beds. Unfortunately this is overshadowed by the threat of Hydro Electric Power as outlined in the Vancouver Daily Province issues of April 23rd | 3780 Gamble St.. and May 11th 1954. If in the event that our salmon is taken in great quantities far out at sea so as to cause the returning 'stocks of spawners in our streams and rivers1 to dwindle, we will play right into the hands of tlie hungry power people, who' wish even now to dam the mighty Fraser River at Hell's Gate.

Established 1832 Distillers of the renowned PRINCE RECENT Canadian^Vhisky This advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or by the Government of British Columbia. Roberts Creek Round-up .by Madge Newman Mrs. V. Rookes' new shipment of books have arrived and are available. Rental cost of the books: is next to nothing and there is a good selection to -choose from. Nothing like improving the mind while resting the back, these busy gardening days. The supply of permanent library books is building up through the generosity of friends, and Mrs. Rookes who matches the annual gift of a book from the PTA. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Hill, Paicines, California, and Mrs. M. Bell, Seattle, are the guests of their cousin and sister, Mrs. Ruth Mitchell. It is interesting to see this country through the eyes of visitors. These folk are also related to the Gallifords! and Bates, the Whitworths and- the Newmans. We were canny enough to choose a perfect May day on which to show them our local beauty spots. Our leisurely trip to Irvines Landing and return took most of the day, for every few miles the scenery had to fc>e captured by Bruce's movie'- caanera so that the kids back home may share this trip with them. Pseudo California type bungalows held no interest for them but the Sechelt Inn with its old English air intrigued ,them ��nd- the hospitable host, Mr. Duncan, kindly allowed us to poke among the treasures in the old fashioned sitting room. He showed us through the big, homey kitchen and the cheerful dining room overlooking the sea, and let us glimpse the Jarge square bedrooms upstairs. "This is what we like" our' visitors .exclaimed. "Keep your English atmosphere, or your Indian background, but don't, DON'T, instil anything Califor- nian or American into this Peninsula. Boost your own native and natural foods. Travellers wiit somethiig different they like to see how others live and above all, they like to saimpie their food." 'Especially'' added Bruce, drooling, "raspberry and blackberry jam." Lunch was eaten, and more pictures taken, at Halfmoon Bay Lake. Hoffar's domain at Secret Cove was the next stop, and it was with difficulty that we dragged the guests away from that lovely spot after both moving and still pictures had been' taken, some purchases made at the store and "the time of da y'' p asise d w/ith the gracious owners. St. Mary's Hospital, come upon so unexpectedly after the drive 'around the picturesque Garden Bay Lake, and the chapel nestling under"' the trees beside it, made another "take" for their, collection of travel pictures'. The friendly folk at Irvines Landing store, the air saturated with the sweet scent of purple lilacs growing so pro- hfically all about and the little boats putt-putting in, the harbour, all, conspired to form an unforgettable memory of our beautiful Sunshine Coast. The most unforgettable and important picture, according to Bruce, and the one which did not get taken, was a round, firm, fully-packed quart jar of luscious', horn e-g r o w n raspberries. One argument for home freezers. Old timers here might be interested to know that Delmar Crow, only son of Mr. an'd Mrs. Charlie Crow, and grandson of the late Joe Crow of Roberts Creek, was married last month in the little church at Langforo, 12 m'iles out of Victoria'. He was attended by his cousin Garry, eldest son of Doris Crow Russell, of Abottsford. A very happy evening was spent at the Legion Hall last Saturday when the Legionaires put on one of their famous Bingo parties. Who is this man Cliff Welles who was forever shouting "Bingo." David Blake's broken bones pre coming along nicely and he gets about on his' crutches. Broad jumping was responsible for the accident.

Mrs. Bond back to the old homestead, looking very refreshed after an interesting motor, trip from Calgary and th Northwest States wth her |riend Miss Horn.

The Citizens of Gibsons also corn- lain of the lack of interest in clubs and so forth by us, but: We started the Junior Baseball Team, this team is now an the Junior Peninsula Lefegue, but may have to fold because of the lack of interest shown to us by the Parents. We started this team by ourselves and all matters concerning our team have been unnoticed by you. Now that we are in the League we need transportation . to our games; especially to those ini Pender Harbour and in Sechelt. We need money to supply us with the necessary equipment, the important need is for a coach, j or a sponsor who would act as I a coach, or both. It is true that the Firemen have donated five dollars and the use of their bats, but that is hardly enough support to keep the team alive. Every Wednesday at six thirty wis have a practice; if you can call it that. It's-not that there ds a lack of interest by the boys, or that we have a poor team, the reason is, we need an organizer. If some one could come out that night and coach or any night that would suit him, the team would be very grateful. And someone who could supply us with transportation to the games would also be welcomed. Jack Whitaker and Jack Red- It gives me great pleasure to learn there was to be a drive for funds towards the operation of the VON in this district.' Situated as we are without a hospital I" wonder if we appreciate what it means to have the VON Nurse at our service with all her efficiency. I can speak from personal experience having had their soothing ministratiois and use of their equipment for some months. It means much to be bathed, the sheets lhanged, etc., when one is bedridden. So I sincerely hope the drive will be well supported. Mrs. E.L. Kent. man have shown what they can do for the Sechelt boys and I'm sure there are mem Hike that in Gibsons to help us. | On the game of May 16th, i there was a measely crowd attending, we collected a dollar twenty-six. Now what can a team do with that We advertised this game but still we weren't compliimentefcl with a ; decent crowd. When our next game is in Gibsons, which will be very soon, if our team holds out, come on out, theyr'e good games an'd I'm sure you won't be disappointed as we now are, in fact you won't be disappointed at all.
